Brazilian yacht stuck in ice sheet in Antarctica

Tragic but what an amazing photo. The four cruising Brazilian crew members were taken off this yacht successfully when it sank in the Antarctic in April, likely due to ice compression and strong winds.

The 76ft yacht, Mar Sem Fin (Endless Sea), was photographed magnificently this week by http://ruschili.35photo.ru/photo_376902/!Ruslan_Elisleev, showing it stuck in the sheet of ice in Maxwell Bay, Ardley Cove, just in front of the Chilean Antarctic Base, Presidente Eduardo Frei.

The four crew members of the yacht were rescued unharmed and taken to the base. The vessel is owned by journalist and former president of Radio El Dorado, João Lara Mesquita, who was in the region producing a documentary.
